My goodness, this is not. . .good or healthy but definitely a picture worth a thousand words. At first, I thought it was some over the top figurine until I kept reading and realized this guy is for real!! Two things come to mind. First off, it just looks all wrong and very very unnatural. Secondly, I’m amazed at how our bodies can transform through persistence and dedication, whether for good or not so good. Imagine what we can accomplish by loving ourselves and trusting in our body’s ability to do what it’s designed to do–which is to keep us happy and healthy. This picture, although very grotesque to me and I’m safe to say, for many others, is a manifestation of Mr.Cutler’s will to create something ‘big’ out of himself, but at what expense?

Cheleen, I have honestly never cooked a Thanksgiving dinner. I make the garlic-greens mashed potatoes (recipe found in Ch. 6 of 12 Steps) that are out of this world. (We also put that recipe in the Holiday recipe collection just released.)

Tomorrow, going to my mom’s house, I’m taking the huge raw vegetable platter and the huge fruit platter. That is virtually always my assignment–the raw vegs and fruits, in the form of green salads, fruit salads, etc. At the church parties, the neighborhood barbecues, the family get-togethers.

It works great because I can fill up my plate and my children’s with good stuff, and I don’t have to wonder if the party will be without things we like to eat.

That said, my older daughter said to me this week, “Mom, can we skip the turkey dinner and stay home, so we can eat vegetarian?” And I said, “No, because Thanksgiving is more about family than food.”

I have two newborn baby nephews I get to see tomorrow and I can’t wait!

I think this guy and all the men and women addicted to plastic surgery have a disturbing amount in common. They both have complexes and issues with self image. This person could probably benefit greatly from some sessions with a good psychiatrist, not to mention nutritionist.

A person’s heart can’t possibly support that much weight. He must weigh close to 300 pounds. Just because it’s muscle and not fat doesn’t make it any less unhealthy. His heart is going to wear out before he’s 45.

It’s sad, because his determination to be the best could end up killing him. His insecurities are going to kill him. It’s sad. Really, really sad.
